We really enjoyed both the Timbavati reserve and the Shindzela camp. The place itself was great. The tented room was one of those half hut half tent type things which was great and with the zips windows down you can keep the temperature down when it's hot. There's a swimming pool right by a water hole and literally anything can...

We considered many options for our trip to Kruger and its outlying private concessions. No doubt others are also very good, but we selected Shindzela for value and based on reports from others. We were not disappointed. It was comfortable, despite the 39deg.C temperatures and the food and hospitality were excellent. Our only regret is that the waterhole was dry,...

I went to Shindzela with my family for a three day safari holiday.
It was very well organised camp with great staff.
The food was very good and the tour guides and the Safari guides were exceptional.
In three days we had seen all the big five animals many times and are very pleased with all the staff in the...

We really liked Shindzela!!
Very good food!
very intimate (max. 18 guests I think)
nice drives and sundown locations
nice pool (+ every day we had a group of elephants and buffalo's passing by, 100 meters of the pool
nice bomb area
good tent and very good beds
We stayed two days/nights and I think that was perfect!

Shindzela offers a wonderfully authentic bush experience. It may be a low cost offering among other camps in the Timbavati, but it certainly doesn't suffer in comparison with others we've stayed at elsewhere; quite the opposite, in fact.
Our ranger and tracker, Johan & Geoffrey, were just awesome and we completely lucked out with game sightings. It might be difficult...

Wow what an incredible bush lodge for budget price. On arrival we were luckily enough to see a family of elephants drinking from the watering hole across from the lodge... this happened everyday!!
Our guide Johan was amazing as well... always ensuring we got to see all the wildlife in our daily game drives. With the tracker they always tried...

We were there for 2 nights on a Kiboko tour in September 2016, Brett, Sam and Raymond made our stay memorable and the safari drives were the best, saw 4 of the big 5, only saw the foot prints of a leopard! Sam was very informative and information about all the flora and fauna.
The meals were especially the "mmmm"...

This was our first safari experience but I'm afraid we are ruined forever! We could not have had a more perfect three days. We saw the BIG 5 in our first 24 hours, a leopard eating a warthog, hyenas eating an elephant carcass, 2 WHITE LIONS, more lions "getting busy" and more! Eugene was our guide; he went out of...

Amazing expierence. Good food and amazing game drives thanks to our guides Sam and Brett. Elephants next to the tent truly amazing. Got op close to elephants, buffalo, giraffe, zebra,lion, wild dogs, wildebeest and many more

A wonderful bush camp situated in the Timbavati Reserve one hour along a rough track giving a true feeling of being in the middle of the bush. Everything about this place is special. It's not 5 star in anyway. It's far better than that. It's personal attention, welcome, camp food, game drives, views, elephants keeping us awake all night outside...

Shindzela is an authentic tented bush camp situated in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, greater Kruger National Park. The camp accommodates a maximum of 16 guests and is unfenced, making it very much part of the wilderness. Shindzela is not built by an award winning architect, nor is it furnished by an interior designer. What you will find though, is a comfy bed, freshly laundered linen, and décor from local crafters and artists. Shindzela is a comfortable/rustic tented bush camp, where you can relax, enjoy our warm hospitality and immerse yourself in the African wilderness. We love our informal, relaxed atmosphere. Each safari tent is built on wooden decks, and has their own en-suite shower/toilet and hand basin. The camp also has a swimming pool and overlooks our little watering hole, from where you can watch animals come down to drink....more less
